Senior Coach
There is no better feeling than witnessing a client’s ‘light-bulb’ moment, that instant where a mystery becomes a learnable skill. My career has always revolved around the power of the human voice. As a performer, lecturer for actors, or teacher of English as an additional language, I’ve spent years deconstructing how we communicate.
I know that professional success often hinges on more than just “what” you say; it’s about the presence you bring to the room. Whether I’m coaching a Senior Associate at a global investment firm towards a promotion or helping a CEO lead shareholder presentations, I use my background in linguistics, voice studies, and actor training to solve very real pain points.
By applying the Serlin Method alongside performance techniques, I help my clients dismantle stage fright and build a commanding executive presence. I believe that effective communication starts with authenticity. My goal is to give you the tangible tools needed to unlock your potential, ensuring you feel as confident in a high-stakes boardroom as you do in a one-to-one conversation.

I was incredibly shy as a teenager. I found the idea of being “seen” or heard daunting, but discovering performing and the mechanics of voice work allowed me to step out of my shell and find my own power.
